Twinkle Khanna, known for wearing many hats — actor, author, columnist, producer, interior designer, and entrepreneur — recently reflected on her upbringing and views on age and gender. As she marked her 50th birthday, Twinkle offered thoughtful insights into growing up in an all-women household and how that shaped her perspective on gender and life.
Twinkle Khanna turns 50, opens up about patriarchy, self-discovery and her next chapter: “Turning 50 is a railway journey”
Speaking in her signature candid style, Twinkle said: “Turning 50 is a railway journey. Even if it’s to Ulhasnagar and not a destination you particularly want to reach, you still want to get there and just get off the train.”
Twinkle Khanna on Growing Up in an All-Female Household
Twinkle shared that she spent her formative years surrounded by women and was largely unaware of gender-based inequality until much later in life. “I don’t think I lived within the confines of a gender in my head. I grew up in an all-female household and didn’t even realise that patriarchy existed until I was out in the world. It probably didn’t hit me until my 30s,” she revealed.
She added that she always believed women were superior, and starting out with that mindset likely influenced how she processed the world around her. “Maybe because I began with that outlook, nothing I experienced really changed it,” she said, describing her mindset as “androgynous, naturally creative and undivided.”
Embracing Age and Experience
Twinkle, often praised for her wit and wisdom, has always spoken openly about ageing. Rather than resisting the process, she seems to welcome it with humour and grace. Imagining her future, she said she could see herself in her 60s, riding a scooter in Goa, with chipped nails, messy hair — or even pursuing a PhD.
